The Nerve of some people?!

Does it really chaf your hide when you see someone using handicap parking that is perfectly able to walk an extra 20 feet? Saw this over the weekend, the guy was totally not handicap he practically ran in the store!

Maybe they park in your assigned parking space repeatedly, leaving you with no option but to circle endlessly looking for a place to park. This happened to me today.

I Would you love to get back at him.....

I could take nearly all of the air out of his tires. Not leave them completely flat, just flat enough so that he has to drive to a service station. 10 psi should do it.

Why do I torture myself!!!???

I have been hooked on Days of our Lives (yes the soap opera) since I have been 12 years old.

I can remember sitting with my grandma during hot summer days and drinking lemonade, having animal crackers. I can still smell her perfume.

Needless to say I think the quality of television shows have severely declined since I was 12 years old.... Yet as awful as it is I still watch, hoping the may actually start to go back to the roots of the show.

Today as I watched I thought my gosh if I watch this show 1 hour a day five days a week 52 weeks a year that's 260 hours of my life that I will never get back..... THAT Sucks.

I must watch because that's what reminds me of my grandma who passed away 2 years ago today.

She loved the show.

Fried Oreo's

Some of you are possibly cringing in disbelief at such an atrocious food concept. Heck, I couldn't believe that fried Oreo cookies existed! My sister brought it this weekend to an easter get together and it's so sinful!

1 large bag of Oreo cookies

2 cups of pancake mix

1-1/2 cups of milk

2 eggs

4 tsp. of oil

Preheat deep fryer to 375 F. Combine pancake mix, milk, eggs and oil. Mix until there are no lumps. Dip Oreos into batter, make sure both sides are covered and put the Oreos into the deep fryer. The cookie will float so make sure you flip the cookie over so that both sides are golden brown. The cookies will cook fast so watch them so they will not burn. Take out Oreos and enjoy. The cookies are best straight out of the deep fryer!!

Makes about 54 Oreos.

You know your bad when........

Dutch police have reportedly confiscated the saxophone of a busker who played so badly that his audience complained. According to the Dutch news agency ANP, the 43-year-old used to perform at the railway station at Leiden in the west of the country to the dismay of passengers, who found his instrument an ill wind. He was the only person to believe that the station concourse "did justice to the sound quality of his instrument" by amplifying it, as he told policemen who served him with a summons and confiscated his saxophone. He had been repeatedly told by police, alerted by maddened passengers, to leave and each time the not-very-well-tempered instrument was confiscated and then returned. When he persisted police again took his saxophone but said this time they could not guarantee they would give it back. The prosecution service will decide.

intellectual intercourse

Seems lately that everyone I talk to is just plain fucking stupid!

I have not had a single meaningful conversation with anyone in at least a month! Including my family members. Have we all gotten to busy or just plain don't give a shit?

I try to have a conversation that would present some intellectual response...... No such luck so far!

Immigration

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.."

It's bad enough that we, as a country, let immigrants in to begin with, but I think reducing the number of Joses and Ricardo's that swim ashore is a very good thing. Some ELEVEN MILLION!!
Most illegal immigrants won't pay taxes. They'll commit crimes. They'll do nothing to earn their keep. Take our jobs that we have left and we have'nt outsourced to India.

Look, I don't see what these Mexicans think entitles them to come over here in the first place. It's almost as if they feel that this is owed them, just because their country is so downtrodden.
It's not our problem the Joses and Ricardo's of their country can't fix their problem. The sooner we ban immigration, the better..in all forms.

In California the cost of providing Health Care, Education...and Incarceration to illegal immigrants is $10.5 billion. This cost is magnified by the fact that illegal immigrants do not undergo any medical screening prior to entering the US, which means that border states have much higher rates of diseases like tuberculosis and...wait for it...leprosy. Moreover, illegal immigrants utilize emergency rooms for primary care at a rate of 29%, which is nearly three times the rate of the population in general (11%). Of course, Illegal immigrants have to utilize the emergency room, since illegal immigrants make up 15% of the total number of uninsured people in the country.

***Edit****

Let me clearify that I am talking Illegal immigrants, some just come over for free labor and delivery so the child can become an automatic US Citizen and stay forever. Some Immigrants have earned the right to be here, they have been accepted leagally, pay taxes and have taken measures to become US citizens the corect and legal way.

Also I understand Outsourcing is a totally seperate issue and is to blame of US government trying to save pennies, therefore I probably should have saved that for a different topic altogether.

Only in Kuwait.......

Now I would say that it's a crusty situation!

The Kuwait Times accompanied a team from the Hawally municipality team -- led by Tareq Al-Qattan and some other inspectors -- on an inspection campaign Hawally to monitor various businesses in the area. From there, we moved to restaurants. Team members entered the restaurants from all directions so that no one working illegally in the restaurant could run away. What I saw in those restaurants was so bad that I have stopped eating for two days. Our first visit was to well-known bakery - though I discovered along with the municipality that they leave the dough in the toilet. The baker was surprised to see the municipality. When he was asked about why he stored the dough in such an inappropriate location, he admitted that the humidity helps speed up the process and so he can meet demand. In addition, he kept the dough in the bathtub and used expired butter. The bakery was closed immediately and a KD 1000 fine imposed and charges are to be prepared for working with an expired health license permit.

Stormy

We had a pretty stormy Sunday what with the tornados that ripped through the Midwest yesterday. 3 weeks ago yesterday a nearby town was ripped to shreds and another last night. I can see that this will be a very active tornado season. Luckily we suffered no damage Thank God! I feel awful that our neighboring states were'nt so lucky it's terrible to see the news reports of the damage. I guess my point is be thankful for every day as you never know if it's your last.
